What do I do now?From: Annie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Feb 26 14:56:41 2003
I had my lap back in October '02, diagnosed with endo stage 1, I personally think it should have been staged higer, considering they took out my appendix because it was covered in it and they had to leave some of it in because it is on my ureter and artery... Anyways, I cant find a doc to give me any more pain meds to help me. I do NOT want to sound like a drug seeker at all. My decision for treatment has been to not treat at this point. My husband I are going to start trying to get pregnant again in August (we lost a baby last August) and I HATE the pill, will not do lupron or depot. So my choice right now is to deal with the pain. The pain is not usually so bad that I need prescription pain meds, but days like yesterday and today, the ones that come out of the blue and dont allow me to function, walk, sleep, eat, breathe without moaning, those are the ones that I need the meds. But I have had a lot go on physically since August when I lost the baby, 2 D & C's, infection, ovarian cyst, endo, lap, appendectomy, now I have gastroesphogeal reflux disease due to all the NSAIDs that I have taken. (lovely) Anyways, my point here is that I cant get my doctor to prescribe me any more narcotic pain meds, she says that I have had too many in the recent past and that I need to watch out for addiction, I agree that I need to be careful of addiction. But then there are days like yesterday that I cant even function because of the pain, and geez Tylenol sucks for pain like that. I dont know what to do now that I have been diagnosed, declined treatment, and been told that I have had too many narcotic pain meds (tylenol 3 or vicoden), I dont know what to do. I feel like I am out of options for dealing with the pain. Shouldnt this be my choice to decline treatment and not be treated like a drug seeker when I ask to deal with the pain? If someone could PLEASE suggest something for me to do when the pain gets that horrible, or something I could say to my doctor, find another doctor, anything, please help. I would greatly appreciate any input, medicinal, holistic, prayer, vitamins, pain meds, conversation with docs, anything really. Thank you!!!!!
